There is trouble with the trees...
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw
All cut down by a modern day warrior with mean, mean pride.
We just lost almost ever ash tree in the Midwest and now they think oak trees should die too
Yeah
Some racist Founding Father or 2 had at least one in their front yard...
Without American white oak there would be no whiskey. Or very little of it.
American white oak has the perfect pore size for the staves of whiskey aging barrels. Fortunately for the rest of the world, the US has a law that forbids licensed distillers re-using whiskey aging barrels, and other countries are happy to buy our hand-me-downs. Scotch white oak is unsuitable for aging barrels so their whisky industry in particular is completely dependent on the American whiskey industry for its aging barrels. Same with the sherry and port industry in Spain & Portugal. All aged in American whiskey barrels.
So cutting down all the oaks would destroy the American whiskey industry, and cripple much of the rest of the world’s.
The Blue Ridge Mountains in the Appalachians got the name “Blue Ridge” because of the blue hue associated with them, due to isoprenes (as well as other organics) emitted by the trees in their forests. Those mountains have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, along with associated wildlife of all sorts - they’ve survived just fine despite the continual presence of enough isoprenes to change the look of the local atmosphere.
The most reasonable solution would be to air drop a MOAB on Michigan State University.
It always starts with a question with these lefties…
“...professing to be wise, they became fools.”
It’s not provocative. It’s stupid.
More lying from “scientists”.
Squirrels have more sense.
Not before we hang every single shitlib from them. Save one to make stakes that will be driven through the hearts Shrillary and her ilk. Save another few to make pikes for the heads of the members of the Congress and Senate.
Saw a cool post where a guy was asking about if they can’t accurately compare the average temperature of his living room today to what it was last year, how can they accurately compare the GLOBAL temperature to what it was 75 years ago? The hemming and hawing and tap dancing by pseudo scientists trying to explain the unexplainable was classic.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to know what the average GLOBAL temperature was 50 years ago. It is IMPOSSIBLE to know what the average GLOBAL temperature was yesterday. We do not have the sensor accuracy and coverage. We do not have the data storage capacity.
hell, no!
Get rid of the environmental wack-os. Their computers running climate models are probably doing more damage to the earth.
Why don’t we just cut down all the so-called environ-MENTALIST? Problem solved!
